Sara in a few words
I'm a UX/UI Designer with a background in teaching and online marketing. UX/UI felt like a natural pivot for me because, as an online marketer, I produced marketing campaigns that both align with my client's goals and their customers' needs. As a teacher, I had to empathize and adapt to my students depending on their learning abilities. Together, I believe I honed valuable analytical skills and people skills.
As a designer, I'm an advocate for my users. I empathize with the user and spot problems that need to be solved. I'm excited to join a team that will put its user's needs first.
